A Parrot That Prays.

A family living on Reed street, above
Fourth, are the owners of pretty poll
parrot that has already conclusively
shown the evidence Of early religious
training. The bird is an unusually
bright one, and it salutes the members
Of the family every morning with a
regularity that is as interesting as it is
remarkable. St Alphonsus's German
Catholic Church on the southwest
corner OF Fourth and Reed streets. is
provided with d set of chimes which.
besides ringing on every Sunday and
holy day, ring out the "Angelus"
every evening. This is for the purpose
Of reminding pious Catholics who live
within the sound of the bells of little
prayer that is TO be recited at that
time of the day. Recently one of the
little girls of the house began to call
The attention of the parrot TO the ring
ing of the chimes. The bird was a
careful observer. and attentively
watched the little one recite the
prayer. Suddenly, one evening. as the
bell rang out, the parrot jumped from
his perch =, the bottom of its cage,
and assuming reverent position,
bowed It's head and mumbled the first
few words of the prayer. Since that
time. il is claimed, the parrot Is as
regular and attentive TO its daily
prayers as any member Of the family.

Trouble With the Hands.

Young people have great deal OF
trouble with their hands, and commit
great many faults with them. When
they 90 upon the platform to speak a
piece. they know not what to do with
those troublesome and superfluous APP
pendages, unless some good teacher Of
eoculion has told them; and even then
i, is hard to obey his injunction to
''let them alone"
Just 10 let them hang quietly and
naturally by the side most of the time.
il very difficult for tyro. A boys
impulse is to get hold of his coat FUN
BILE with his watch chain, or make
gestures which add no force to his
words. An old teacher OF elocution
has given this excellent rule: when
your hands have nothing to do, do
nothing with them; let them hang.
Some boys, yes. and some girls. too,
have world of trouble in keeping
their hands clean. Probably, on this
very day, in the United States, one
hundred thousand mothers have spok-
Ell words like these, in various tones,
Johnny, what dYeadfM hands to come
to the table with Go and wash them.
sir. at once!"
Johnny gazcs ruefully at what his
eldest sister calls his ''orrid paws"
and wonders how they could have ac-
qulred their dismal hue. 1t is a mys-
terry. He started clean in the morn
ing; at least, he thought he did, and he
has only been to school, Yet look at
his hands Black as charcoal deal
er's with nails fearful to behold.
Many boys wonder. naturally
enough how grown people keep their
hands clean all day without taking
much trouble about it. Boys handle
everything, whether clean or dirty,
and half of them do rot know how to
wash their hands, or how to wipe
them dry. Hands well washed and
perfectly dried will keep clean four
times as long as hands half washed and
half dried. Nails, too, are much more
easily kept in good order If they are
attended to frequently and with care
and thoroughness.
Many, indeed, are the faults of the
hands. One of the worst is pointing
the finger of scorn at the faults of
others. Biting the thumb was the
Italian method of expressing contempt
in the days of Romeo and Juliet the
tragedy of whose lives began with their
servants biting their thumbs at one
another. 1t is with the hands that
boys pinch, scratch and steal. Ham
let called his hands "pickers and steal
ers."
But, then. what beautiful and won
derful things the human hand can do!
What lovely pictures it can paint
what enchanting music it can play;
what valiant deeds it can do; what
kind acts it can perform!
Best of all. it can lift up the fallen
and welcome back to hope and new eff
fort the repentant wanderer from the
path of rectitude.
knowing teachers often judge of the
quality of their pupils by looking at
their mouths. But the hands, too,
have tale to tell. and sometimes they
tell it very plainly.

Washington VS.. COrsicana.

To the Herald
The prohibition amendment does
not say one word about what a man
shall SOW or reap, nor does it mention
wheat, cotton, tobacco, cigars, grapes
or peaches. Mr.. Mills however in his
Corsicana speech of May 21st, said, in
speaking of personal liberty. each
farm is 10 governed by its individual
proprietor, and the government has no
right TO say when he shall sow or
reap, whether it be wheat, cotton
tobacco or grapes, aud yet prohibit
bitionis!s tell us il is Jeffersonian
Democracy for the government to
prohibit the people from raising
grapes or tabacco, making wine or
cigars. If the farm is 10 be governed by
the individual proprietor, what right
has the State TO say he shall not plant
grapevines or keep wine, or raise
peaches and make brandy, aud sell it,
or keep it, or drink It," The prohibi-
tionists do not tell us any such thing.
Why does Mr.. Mills take such latitude
Cant be show that intoxicating liquors
ought to be made and sold in Texas,
and that the State is benefited, and
not damaged by the liquor traffic ?
Although a fsrmer can start dis
tillery with an ORDINARY wash pot and
two gun barrels, the requirements OF
the internal revenue law are so severe
that there is not probably lawful dis
tillery in the State of Texas to-day.
The effect of the revenue law has been
to throw the manufacture of whisky
and brandy into the hands Of the
wealthy distillers, and drive out all
the men of limited means, who could
not prepay the tax before selling their
spirits. This requirement caused
many persons to embark 10 the manu-
facture of moonshine" whisky and
brandy in the mountains Of North and
South Carolina, Tennessee and Geor-
gia. Many oil those who thus under

erty" and make little peach and

WHO WILL THE LAW AFFECT

This State is not ripe for a new era of
commotlon and disorder; a new system of
odious domiciliary visits by the hordes Of
State police which prohibition would re-
quire.-Dallas News.
"No thief e'er felt the halter draw,
With good opinion Of the law"
Sam Bass and his gang no doubt OBJ
jected very seriously 10 the frequent
visits of the State Rangers to their
whereabouts. The gamblers OF Dallas
object very much to being raided by
the police. The saloon men don't
want any officers prying around their
places on Sunday; but honest, law
abiding citizens have nothing to fear
from such visits and do not care for
them. If the News wants the people
of Texas to consult the wishes of the
law-breakers then the article is WELL
timed. II not, then the article is au
insult TO the people of Texas. They
have no reason to fear and do not fear
such visits. Sanger Bros, Douglass
Bros, Huey 81 Philip, Padgitt Bros.
and all other houses that are known
to respect the law will never be both

The prohibition amendment does
not interfere with the national custom
of our Gecman population or hurt
Texas manufacture Of beer aud wine /:
for adulterated or intoxicating beer is
prohibited iu many of the German
countries. The amendment provides
for the prohibition of Intoxicating
liquors very plainly. The issue is
against that which makes dr0nGeD,
robs of reason, makes brutal, and is
not aimed at the product of fresh
beer or native wines which have not
the requisite quantity of alcohol to
produce intoxication. Take beer for
instance: The Messrs. Cannon, of the
Dallas Brewing Co., or the breweries
of San Antonio and Houston, would
not under this amendment be pro-
hibited from making the better grades
of beer, because that class of beer
contains only per cent of alcohol and
is NOT intoxicating. But the imported
product of ADheuser-B Busch and Lemp
must contain Is and II per cent of
alcohol to preserve it through transit
and sale in this aud other States; this
product is thus doctored to state of
iutoxicat;on, aud thereby comes under
the head of liquors to be prohibited
by this constitutional amendment.
The Dallas Brewery would be pros
porous enough with territory of 30
or 40 miles square, for in that terrific
ry they could serve their product in q
condition fresh and free from intoIi-
cauts; and so long az it is made and
sold in that condition the letter or IN
TENT of prohibition does notinterlere.
But if the product should become stale
or adulterated to a condition of I'M
purity and intoXication then should
the law prohibit its sale just as the
law prohibits the sale of spoi or pois-
oned meats, adulterated butter or 9th
er articles of provision. Can our Ger
man friends object to such rcgula-
ton as this ? Of course, the HERALD
expects this argument to fall fiat with
the brewers themselves, because their
business ard interests are SO closely
interviewer with the saloons that they
are for the present, at least,
1ue and identical. But there
ire a good number of Ger
mans aud Americans who are 10th to
give up their beer, for they use only
he fresh and uuinjurious, and yet
who would be glad to vote away
whisky and other intoxicating liquors.
How is it with these? viii they look
,almly aud impassionately into this
